Five to ten employees (current employment contract) of a scientific institution form a team. Each team should be comprised of
- at least one team member over the age of 40,
- at least one non-male team member and
- at least one international team member.
The organizers reserve the right to check the composition of the teams at random and to punish unsportsmanlike conduct if necessary.
Registration
Please register your team by May 16, 2025. Please name a person responsible for the team with an email address and a telephone number as well as a team name (with reference to the institution). You do not need to inform us of the exact team composition at this stage.
Please coordinate within your institution: In order to enable as many institutions as possible to participate, each institution can initially register one team. If we receive more than one registration from an institution, we will initially collect the other teams on a waiting list in the order of their registration. If not all starting places can be allocated to different institutions, the waiting teams will move up and will be informed promptly. The institutions do not have to be members of the Leipzig Science Network.
If you have any questions, please contact Hans-Christoph Thiele from the Department of Science Policy of the City of Leipzig, 0341 123-2014,
